Sense Sonnet - Acher

Wall Flower

A wall flower has come to mean
A person who's an introvert,
And with others is only seen
As someone alone yet alert
To all that's happening about,
And really would like to join in,
But is too shy and scared no doubt,
So just falls back in still chagrin.
A wall flower person is not
Quite the same as the flower real,
That shuns the entire garden lot,
Seeking a lone wall niche with zeal.

A flower in a wall that's grown
Really wants to be left alone.
